Early land plants: Plentiful but neglected nutritional resources for herbivores?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
In this paper, we explore the unknown reason(s) why herbivores rarely seem to attack early land plants like mosses and ferns. Our study, in which we looked at the performance of an arthropod and a gastropod on 15 species of such plants, yields surprising results that disqualify some of the common notions about early land plants.

Extinction risk is linked to lifestyle in freshwater gastropods

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 12, Page 2357-2368, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim Freshwater ecosystems and their biota are severely endangered by global change today, and predicted extinction levels are skyrocketing for many taxa. Most studies have focused on entire clades, while approaches testing for selective extinction risk with respect to ecological traits are rare. As studies are typically based on modern faunas,

Seasonal turnover in community composition of stream‐associated macroinvertebrates inferred from freshwater environmental DNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 861-876, July 2021., 2021
Macroinvertebrate communities are crucial for biodiversity monitoring and assessment of ecological status in stream ecosystems. Here, we use environmental DNA metabarcoding of filtered water samples collected in both spring and autumn from five streams in Denmark to address seasonal turnover in community composition of stream macroinvertebrates.

Trophic structure of a pond community dominated by an invasive alien species: Insights from stomach content and stable isotope analyses

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 948-963, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Invaders affect native species across multiple trophic levels, influencing the structure and stability of freshwater communities. Based on the ‘trophic position hypothesis’, invaders at the top of the food web are more harmful to native species via direct and indirect effects than trophically analogous native predators are. However, introduced

Evolution of microgastropods (Ellobioidea, Carychiidae): integrating taxonomic, phylogenetic and evolutionary hypotheses [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Current biodiversity patterns are considered largely the result of past climatic and tectonic changes. In an integrative approach, we combine taxonomic and phylogenetic hypotheses to analyze temporal and geographic diversification of epigean (

From sea to land and beyond – New insights into the evolution of euthyneuran Gastropoda (Mollusca)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background The Euthyneura are considered to be the most successful and diverse group of Gastropoda. Phylogenetically, they are riven with controversy.

First record of two slug mite species of the genus Riccardoella Berlese (Acari: Ereynetidae) in Serbia [PDF]

Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2016
The paper presents the first data on slug mites Riccardoella (Riccardoella) limacum (Schrank) and R. (Proriccardoella) oudemansiThor (Acari: Ereynetidae) in Serbia. The two parasitic species were detected on seven species of snails and slugs (Gastropoda,
